Erik ten Hag may be battling to save his job at Manchester United when his side take on Aston Villa in the Premier League after a series of disappointing results to start the season
A majority of Manchester United fans would like to see manager Erik ten Hag sacked by the club following a poor start to the season.
The Red Devils let a two-goal lead slip before narrowly avoiding defeat against Porto in the Europa League to continue an indifferent start to 2024-25. United have not won either of their opening European matches so far and sit in the bottom half of the Premier League table having recorded just two wins.
Speaking in his press conference before Porto, Ten Hag said he was in regular contact with Ashworth. “We talk everyday. We are a union and we made that commitment in the summer,” he said.
“We refreshed the staff and I appointed my assistants, I appointed the staff. I did this. We refreshed the squad as well.”
The Dutchman added: “It’s not necessary to give me confidence. We talk every day about how we can improve this club, this team, improve the processes, the procedures, the connections. That is what we talk about.”
